journal error on ext3 is usually related to running out of (physical) memory, even if there's lots of swap available. the symptom is that there are a bunch of journal errors, then the filesystem gets mounted read-only to forestall further damage. so the system is effectively "wedged" since it's read-only.

after reboot, one SHOULD run fsck.ext3 to fix the filesystem (time-consuming). i don't know what would happen if you don't.

I read /var/log/messages and it's full of SQL statements, as per
configuration of PostgreSQL. There's no indication of any hardware
failure. When the server was rebooted, there were no problems with the
hardware. According to the technician who attended it, there were
journal error, but it wasn't clear. We had to restart the server to
get it back on track or our site would spend another hour unavailable.
What could have been the problem? There could be a software issue but
I'm unsure. Thanks!
